Abstract
Verticillium wilt, Verticillium stem striping, and Verticillium stripe are common disease names that all denote infection caused by Verticillium longisporum on canola or other brassica crops. In this study, a quantitative PCR (qPCR) and a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay were developed for the detection of V. longisporum from canola stem samples. Both assays are specific to V. longisporum at the species level and ubiquitous at the strain level across all whole-genome sequenced strains. The low limit for positive detection of the two assays is 1 pg fungal DNA in a 20-µl reaction or 700 fungal cells in 100-mg plant tissue. The qPCR assay was combined with the duplex qPCR assay for the two blackleg pathogens, Leptosphaeria biglobosa and L. maculans, to constitute a triplex qPCR system for simultaneous detection of all three pathogens. The usefulness of this triplex qPCR system was verified on canola samples collected from various locations in Alberta, Canada. Using this triplex qPCR system, V. longisporum was detected from one sample, while the two blackleg pathogens were detected at higher frequencies. Since it is sometimes difficult to differentiate Verticillium stripe and blackleg on Alberta canola samples based on visual symptoms, the triplex qPCR system is an important tool for the detection of V. longisporum, especially when its presence is masked or obscured by symptoms of blackleg.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
